“Today the Styrians made history: for the first time, with the best result in history, they made the FPÖ clearly the strongest political force in the state parliament and thus continued the liberal wave of renewal. I would like to thank all voters from the bottom of my heart and warmly congratulate the election winner Mario Kunasek and his excellent team of the Styrian Freedom Party on this great success. With their tireless commitment and their straightforward, free path alongside the citizens, they have earned the trust of the population in Styria, so that today the voters have set the course for real change with a liberal state government and a liberal state governor Mario Kunasek.” , explained FPÖ federal party chairman club chairman NAbg. Herbert Kickl in a first reaction to the results of the state elections in Styria.
As in the National Council election and the state election in Vorarlberg, the FPÖ is once again effectively the only election winner, while people have continued to massively withdraw their trust in the ÖVP and SPÖ. “Historic lows, losses and stagnation at low levels are a resounding slap in the face for the system parties. Today, the Styrians have not only reorganized the political situation in their federal state in a positive way, but have also issued a democratic call to order in the direction of federal politics on behalf of the population throughout Austria: They want their voters’ will for a red-white-red change to be taken seriously and is not ignored through the adventurous contortions of the election losers in conjunction with the Federal President. For Styria, as well as for all of Austria, the people want a government that only puts their interests first, where the people are the boss, that ensures a good future and not a traffic light coalition of election losers who only care Posting and maintaining power is possible,” Kickl continued.
It therefore remains to be seen whether this further crushing election defeat “will give the sensible forces in the ÖVP the courage to sustainably correct Nehammer’s leftward turn towards the Austro-loser traffic light.” The will of the voters is clear and the challenges that Austria faces, especially in maintaining its competitiveness as a business location, jobs and prosperity, are so great that this does not allow “any experiments”: “Our homeland needs a government that is based on a broad common basis can work for a good future on a substantive basis and not a loser coalition with which an elected chancellor clings to his post and which is only held together by preventing the party with the highest number of votes. A construct that drove Germany to the wall and therefore failed there cannot bring success to the people here!”
